Isaayyaas 61
1 Sababii Waaqayyo akka ani hiyyeeyyiitti oduu gaarii lallabuuf na dibeef, Hafuurri Waaqayyo Gooftaa narra jira. Inni akka ani garaa cabe fayyisuuf, akka ani boojiʼamtootaaf bilisummaa, warra hidhamaniif immoo hiikamuu lallabuuf na ergeera;
The Spirit of the Lord God is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to announce liberation to the captives, to set the prisoners free,
2 akka ani bara tola Waaqayyootii fi guyyaa haaloo baʼuu Waaqa keenyaa labsuuf, akka ani warra booʼan hunda jajjabeessuuf,
to declare the year of the Lord's grace and the day of our God's punishment, to comfort those who mourn.
3 akka ani warra Xiyoon keessatti gaddaniif arjoomee, qooda daaraa miidhagina, qooda booʼichaa, zayitii gammachuu, qooda abdii kutachuu immoo, wayyaa galataa kennuuf na erge. Isaanis qilxuu qajeelummaa, biqiltuu Waaqayyo, kan inni ittiin kabajamu jedhamanii waamaman.
The Lord will give to everyone who mourns in Zion a crown instead of ashes on their head, the oil of happiness instead of mourning, clothes of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of integrity, planted by the Lord to reveal his glory.
4 Isaan waan dur diigame deebisanii ijaaru; iddoowwan bara dheeraan dura onanii turanis akka duraatti deebisu; magaalaawwan diigaman, kanneen dhaloota hedduun dura onanii turan ni haaromsu.
They will rebuild the old ruins; they will restore places abandoned long ago; they will restore towns that were destroyed, places left desolate for generation after generation.
5 Alagoonni bushaayee keessan ni tiksu; ormoonnis lafa qotiisaa fi iddoo dhaabaa wayinii keessanii keessa ni hojjetu.
Foreigners will shepherd your flocks, and take care of your fields, and look after your vineyards.
6 Isin luboota Waaqayyoo jedhamtanii ni waamamtu; tajaajiltoota Waaqa keenyaa jedhamtaniis ni moggaafamtu. Isin qabeenya sabootaa ni nyaattu; badhaadhummaa isaaniitiin illee ni boontu.
You will be called priests of the Lord, identified as ministers of our God. You will enjoy the wealth of nations and be proud that you have it.
7 Qooda qaanii keessanii hiree dachaa ni argattu; qooda salphinaa isin dhaala keessanitti ni gammaddu; kanaafuu isin biyya keessan keessatti hiree dachaa ni dhaaltu; gammachuun bara baraas kan keessan.
Instead of shame you will receive a double blessing; instead of insults, you will be happy to have a double amount of land given to you, and your joy will last forever.
8 “Ani Waaqayyo murtii qajeelaa nan jaalladhaatii; saamichaa fi yakka nan jibba. Ani amanamummaa kootiin isaan nan badhaasa; kakuu bara baraas isaan wajjin nan gala.
I, the Lord, love what is right. I hate robbery and injustice. I will faithfully reward my people and make an everlasting agreement with them.
9 Sanyiin isaanii saboota gidduutti, ijoolleen isaanii immoo uummata gidduutti ni beekamu. Warri isaan argan hundi, akka isaan saba Waaqayyo eebbise taʼan ni beeku.”
Their descendants will be acknowledged among the nations, and their children among the peoples. Everyone who sees them will agree that they are people that the Lord has blessed.
10 Ani Waaqayyo itti guddaa nan gammada; lubbuun koos akka malee Waaqa kootti gammaddi. Inni akkuma misirrichi akka lubaatti mataa isaa miidhagfatu, misirrittiin immoo faayaan of bareechitu sana, wayyaa fayyinaa natti uffiseera uffata qajeelummaa narra buuseeraatii.
I will happily celebrate in the Lord! My whole being will shout praises to my God. For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation, and has wrapped around me in a robe of goodness. I am like a bridegroom dressed for the wedding, like a bride wearing her jewels.
11 Akkuma lafti biqiltuu biqilchitee iddoon biqiltuu immoo akka sanyiin guddattu godhu sana Waaqayyo Gooftaan akka qajeelummaa fi galanni fuula saboota hundaa duratti biqilan ni godha.
Just as the earth sends up shoots, and plants grow in a garden, so the Lord makes goodness and praise grow before all nations.
